Being assaulted derailed my senior year

TW: sexual assault

I (m24) was very successful academically as well as having lots of friends and a part-time job/ways of income helping others from ages 9-17. In my senior year of high school, I was sexually assaulted by a co-worker. An older male co-worker touched my backside for a few seconds, very intentionally.

This incident was the breaking point for me. I had already been experiencing years of emotional abuse from my nparents towards primarily my siblings, as well as pressure of senior year. This assault left me with so many difficult emotions inside that I ended up quitting my job and dropping out of high school. I felt deeply humiliated and weak that another person knew they could do this to me and get away with it. I felt like nothing but a sexual object. I would cry in my room all day and fake try in all my classes/meetings with the counsellor at school to eventually stop going to school entirely. I was too embarrassed to ever tell anyone about both my nparents yelling nearly everyday at home at me or my siblings, as well as the incident at my workplace.

The next 6 years after that were horrible. I was now the main punching bag for my parents anger. Every day nearly they had something to say about my life and my dreams and myself and belittlling all the time. I have lived these 6 years following their wishes in fear of their anger and hoping I can do whatever I can to not get yelled at but it has left me feeling regretful at wasted time. I wish I were brave enough to have left this house sooner and lived my own life. I lived scared, following all their demands to not get yelled at or kicked out and now I have a hollow experience the past 6 years. I feel so unhappy with life.
